Whether or not they can express it clearly, or even face it directly, more or less all adults noticed that medicine was used as a weapon during the Covid fiasco. Today I’m going to address this, because we’ve been losing science and we’ve been losing medicine;…

OpenAI acquires TBPN for $30M+ revenue. The playbook: build niche, daily, personality-driven media. Also: WTI at $103, FBI bulk data buying, Block mesh-llm.

(Originally published September 9, 2021.) It’s now clear that COVID-19 was created by scientists, on purpose. If you have any doubts, please see here and here. We had a paper trail months ago and we have a paved paper trail now. What remains in doubt is our…

Iran isn't blocking the Strait. It's running a toll booth. Citrini sent an analyst to find out. The market is pricing the wrong scenario.

(Originally published September 22, 2021. The dogmas of the Biden time have been breaking since, but I’m leaving this up as reminder.) Western civilization is over. It may live on in some of us, but at the public level it has been replaced. Every major institution…

Tyler Oliveira goes inside the ghost offices gaming America's visa system. 750K views in 24 hours.

Yes, we’ve all experienced ridiculous and even malicious rules, but that’s not what I’m addressing in this post. Today my point is that rules by themselves – rules by their essence – are the opponents of righteousness. I know this strikes most people as absolutely…

(Originally published October 13, 2021.) I’m not telling you whether I’ve had the jab or not, because it doesn’t matter. What I am telling you is that a woman in Denver is about to die because the medical establishment won’t let her have a surgery, simply…

Fake DoorDash drivers, $13M stolen in SF, $66M in Arizona. Geographically distributed multisig makes it physically impossible to comply.

Ten31's John Arnold on digital dollars, CPI at 3.3%, Carlyle's $7B gate, Ro Khanna beating the S&P by 112%, and the BOJ detonating.

We used to talk about things that “separated the men from the boys.” And however poorly the phrase may have been used, it had a legitimate point: It’s one thing to be male, it’s quite another to be a proper man. But on whichever side of the biological divide…

Anything that affects the subconscious minds of billions of people, on a daily basis, is a very serious thing, and that is precisely what has happened over the past decade, as social media captured a large percentage of human cognition. I am well aware that…

Time is the most scarce asset any of us will ever hold. RIP BTCAaron.

It was in 1988 that I first heard of global warming. Seeing that we had recently emerged from a cold spell, it came as something of a surprise. But I didn’t think much of it one way or another as I had, by that time, learned to discount Big Media. The next…

I think we’ve all heard people say that in order to repair a relationship, it’s necessary to forgive the other person first… to accept that they, like you, have their flaws, and that you will no longer hold them to account for what they did. Those of us who’ve…

BIP-361 proposes freezing quantum-vulnerable coins. The 'man in the coma' problem is just the start.
